Media City's production houses, agencies, publishers, and creative businesses often operate through related entities — a production company with a related post-production arm, or an agency with an affiliated content licensing entity. As UAE transfer pricing rules apply regardless of industry, these intercompany creative and media service arrangements need arm's length pricing just like any other sector.
A transfer pricing consultant Media City production houses and agencies rely on understands how project-based, licensing-heavy media income affects related party pricing analysis.
Media and creative groups frequently separate production, distribution, and licensing functions into related entities, with content licensing fees, production service charges, and shared resource costs moving between them. Given the often irregular, project-based nature of media income, arm's length analysis needs to reflect genuine industry pricing norms rather than assumptions from more predictable sectors.
A transfer pricing consultant Media City businesses trust typically manages related party mapping across production, licensing, and distribution entities, arm's length pricing analysis for content licensing and production service fees, Master File and Local File assessment based on group revenue, and Related Party Transaction disclosure support.
Master File and Local File requirements apply where consolidated MNE Group revenue reaches AED 3.15 billion or more, or the taxable person's own revenue reaches AED 200 million or more — relevant for larger media groups and international production companies. Related Party Transaction disclosure applies where thresholds are exceeded, and arm's length pricing governs all related party transactions regardless of size.
